i have not been a big fan of the iraq wars as most of you know. those wars have cost us almost $2 trillion. they are winding down. the office of congressional management have looked at this and said, if you take trillion dollars, it will lower the debt by a trillion dollars and allow us to take an additional $200 billion in interest savings. that's what we have in our bill. it's all been done by the no one partisan congressional office. i can't imagine the fact that they have voted for it. 230 republicans voted for that. why is it suddenly something they don't want? >> you noted the four republicans that didn't sign the letter. scott brown is one of those that told some of us he is working with you, and he could vote for your bill. he's trying to get some teeth into the commission. if there are three others, assuming you hold your caucus, are -- >> your math is terrific. if we get those four more, we have 5857. we need 60. the issue has been now for a week or so, a trigger. if the joint committee doesn't come up with a result, what should happen?
